Bright-Rumped Attila

Wikipedia states that the "bright-rumped attila is a large tyrant flycatcher with a big head, hooked and slightly upturned bill and upright stance...The head is olive-green streaked with black, the back is chestnut or olive, the rump bright yellow and the tail brown. The wings are dark brown with two pale wing bars and paler feather edging. The whitish or yellow throat and yellow breast are variably streaked darker. The belly is white becoming yellow near the tail. The iris is red. The sexes are similar." 

As indicated by the range map, it is found from northwestern Mexico, southeastern Mexico, through much of Central America and large portions of northern South America.

I saw one while staying at Montezuma Rainforest Lodge in Colombia while walking up the dirt road into Tatama NNP.

  1. Compare that pretty big range to the little slivers the hummingbirds get.
